Github only accepts pushes up to 2 GB as they are bundled into a single pack - this allows for a partial push via `git partial-push origin branchname` after placing it into .gitconfig. Error message"remote: fatal: pack exceeds maximum allowed size (2.00 GiB) error: remote unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit"
